Enjoy a small, white sand beach that not many people know about. It’s quiet, secluded and surrounded by rolling sand dunes. Take a hike along the Ship Canal for a unique view of the lighthouses and Coast Guard Station. Plus, enjoy two scenic overlooks.

From the observation tower, you have a panoramic view of two small islands just offshore. The smallest island, known as Hoe (heaven on earth) Island, is one of the Door Peninsula's most unique residences. Fred Wittig and his family live on the island year-round. If you're lucky, you can catch Fred or his wife Dawn at their store, The Healthy Way (see their coupon in Schooner Coast Passport), to discuss the challenges and logistics of island life.
